Capt. l.. NJ. O'Brien has been granted

this post Sunday, having arrived by special
train from Omaha. A reception was ten
dered Gen. Sheridan by Col. Chambers,
the commandant, which was attended by
all officers of the regiment During the
afternoon several prominent C~heyenneites
called and paid their respects to the dis

GEN. SHERIDAN.
He Comes and Goes Very Unostenta-
tiOusly.

Contrary to the general expectation,
Gen. Sheridan arrived in this city very
early Sunday morning, between 6 and I
o'clock. An ambulance was in waiting
for him at the depot and he was at once
driven to Fort Russell, where during the
forenoon an inspection of the troops was
held, and other military formalities OBJ
served. The general was accompanied by
Gen. Baird, his chief of staff, and other
officers. The general, who had arrived
on a special train, remained at Fort Rus
sell very quietly for the greater portion of
the day, but in the afternoon returned to
Cheyenne and very soon departed for
Denver. At Denver Sheridan will select
the site tor the new military post which
is to be established at or near hat point,
alter which he will probably extend his
trip to some of the Southwestern military
stations. The general is in fair health,
but the tide of time begins to show itself
and it is plain to be seer that even lit
tie Phil is growing old.

ne Siuuest words oil tongue or pen,
Are these -four words. it might have been.
The writer don't remember whether the
above is from the productions of the old
man Sp~ookshake or some other author.
and it is probable that some of 1t is en-
tirely new, but with whomsoevcr it may
have originated Paymaster Bush might
well think them over, for there might
have been a different sequel tothe s., 500
difficulty had he adopted the suggestions
that were made to him before departing
from Fort Russell on his northern trip for
the purpose Of paying off the troops.
Russell l.. Tracy talked with Maj. Bush
about his proposed trip to the north and
ventured to suggest to him that it would
be well for him to take along a little safe
weighing about 200 pounds which they
now have at the post in which to carry
the funds, the safe being one that has
been used by other paymasters heretofore.
The paymaster, it seems, was much in
clined to do this. but as the safe needed
some repairing, which mot being done
quite as soon as it perhaps should have
been, he departed with the funds in the
valise which met with such IN untimely
fate at the hands of a single cowboy.

A young man was heard yesterday to
congratulate himself on the fact that he
was a fireman, and what pleased him
most was the fact that by belonging to the
fire department he saved the payment of
a poll tax. In fact" said he, Il am
just that much ahead" When asked
how much dues he paid to the fire com
pany, he replied twenty five cent? month
ly. When someone called his attention
to the fact that there were twelve months
in a year, and that twelve times twenty
five cents would make three dollars, one
dollar more than his poll tax, the
young man set himself to thinking, and
when last noticed he was still at it.

John A. Martin, county road supervisor,
was interviewed yesterday in regard to
county roads. The supervisor has deter
mined TO repair and put in good condition
all the roads in the county, and active op.

bridge, which for a long time have been
in a bad condition, are now being repaired.
The road to Silver Crown is also receiving
attention, and Road Supervisor Martin
has just returned from Il trip in that d.
reetion. He has made one trip to Fort
Laramie and will be obliged to start north

TERRITORIAL BOARD
Of Assessment and Equalization of
Values,
Meets in Cheyenne and Effects an
Organization.

Under the law passed at the last session
Of the legislature, a board of assessment
and equalization of values of stock and
animals of all kinds throughout the terri
tory was created, and it was by the pro-
visions Of the law made obligatory on this
board to meet at the capitol Of the terri
tory on the third Monday of March in
each year for the purpose of discharging
the duties which have been prescribed Tor
it by statute. Yesterday being the day
fixed by law for the board to meet. the
members thereof, with one exception, pre-
sented themselves at the court house and
proceeded to effect an organization.
1t should be stated here that under the
law this board is composed, so far as
membership is concerned, of the chairmen
OF the boards Of county commissioners Of
the various counties of the territory. All
of the counties with the exception OF
Sweetwater were represented yesterday,
and it is understood that the gentleman
who will represent that county will be
present to day. Those who were present
yesterday were: Albany county, j. j.
Strobe; Carbon, John Parker; Crook,
Edwin G. Hall; Fremont, 7. r. Beaver;
johnson, w. j. McCray; Laramie, BIB.
Kelly; Uinta, j. c. Winslow.
The board effected an organization yes
terday by the election of II. b. Kelly as
chairman OF the board, and 7. Joe Fisher,
assessor of this county, was chosen secre-
tary. After the organization of the board
yesterday, a question was raised as tc
eligibility Of one of its members, he being
but an acting chairman, but no definite
decision was reached on that point, as i
was not expected that the board would
enter seriously upon The work in hanc
until to-day.
While the board was in session yester
day afternoon, an informal discussion en-
sued in regard to the valuations to be
placed on certain classes OF animals, from
which it was inferred by THE LEADER
representative, who was present, that
there is an inclination on the part of g
majority Of the members of the board tc
place the valuation a triic lower than thai
fixed by the board last year. The board
will meet again this forenoon, and will al
once engage in the work before it.

Very Likely.

yesterday, and the rumor is given for
what it is worth, hat Mrs. Logan had
sold her entire ranch for a good round
figure per acre. fHE LEADER represent
alive did not investigate the matter par

whether it be SO or not or whether it was
bought for the Burlington & Missouri or
not. That railroad is bound to come to
Cheyenne, and when it does depot and all

seems to he certain, however, and that is
that real estate in "Logansville' is on the

oyerworl. in Public SCHOOLS.

The proper time to consider the ques-
ton of overwork in schools is at the be-
ginning of the term, when the evil can
be prevented, and not, as is usually
done, at its end, when the manifest bad
effects give rise to pointless moralizing.
School teachers generally will not ad-
nit that the ordinary public school
course causes overwork in the pupils.
But the pale faces, emaciated FORMS
headaches and bad nervous conditions
observable in the children at the end
of the school year show plainly that
something is wrong. 1t may be that the
bad air of the school-rooms or improper
diet and care at home contribute to pro-
duce the fagged-out appearance, but
there can be little doubt that the high
pressure system of head-cramming is
responsible for large share Of the bad
results.
One thing is surely bad-the subject
ing of all children, the weak with the
robust, the dull with the bright, to the
same iron-bound system and course of
study. The instruction should in some
way be better adapted both to the indi-
vidual needs and the capacity of the
scholars. The rivalry, the worry and
suspense in contests for promotion, I'M
der an absurd system of marks, should
be abolished. Parents on their part
should see to it that their children get
plenty of sleep and outdoor play, and
that the older girls avoid social
dissipation. Study alone hurts very few
children. 1t is the things superadded
to necessary study, or bad conditions for
studying that do the most of the mis-
chief. New York World.

Contentment of the Poor Man.

There is lots of sympathy wasted in
this world, but it shows good heart to
have it. AS the burden is, so the
strength shall be. If labor is rewarded
it is all right. Rowland says he
don't mind pulling fodder at all if it
don't get wet and spoil in the curing.
Contentment is what we all want, and
the poor man can be as contented as the
rich one if his labor is rewarded reas-
enable reward. Then it is willing La
Dor. The Waterman goes on duty will
ingly at midnight. The doctor hears
the door-bell ring willingly when deep
sleep has possessed him on cold and
stormy night. The night editor of the
daily paper is willing slave to the
lamp. Every true man will screw his
courage up to the sticking point If the
reward is in sight.-Bill Arp in Atlanta
Constitution.

We "take cold' through the skin, it
should be remembered, as we also breathe
through it, throwing Off superhuous heat
which becomes fever when the perspiration
is suppressed-and also sending of waste
products. Persons who have any tendency
to pulmonary disease should make their skins
active. A double handful of common salt
thrown into the bathing water after the
cleaning process has been performed is a
beneficial addition. Tho saline particles are
very penetrating, and no amount of rub
bling will remove them from the skin, Upon
which they exert a most useful though a
gentle, stimulating influence, especially salu-
tary in cases of sluggish liver. Not only
does this act locally on the skin, increasing
its secretions, but also quickens the process
of nutrition in all the tissues of the body.
ThumblesS mittens of ordinary Turkish
toweling are as good as the more costly
sponSes for the luxury of the daily rub
bath" A large Turkish towel, wrung out
in either tcpid or cold water win expedite
the bathing process; and by all means pro-
vide q good sized towel for the dry rub
afterward, Turkish towels that come the
size of crib sheets arc most useful for this,

sheets in daily use is known to the initiated

The Throat and the Voice.

The throat is wonderful instrument
of music. Place the fingers upon it, and
every time you speak you can feel the
vibration of the vocal organs, producing
sound. Anything that even touches the
throat impairs the purity of those sounds.
Fling cloth over the strings of piano
or violin, and get music out of it if you
can. So every cloth which surrounds
the throat impairs the sweetness of the
voice. Women go with necks bare; men
have theirs swathed and bandaged, and
ten women have sweet voices where one
man has. A mans voice should be as
pure as woman's. Why is it not? He
is shaved and choked. God has provided
covering for mans throat, light and
soft: it clothes the neck and preserves
the health. But a man gets sharp iron,
scrapes his neck, ties rag round it,
takes cold, has sore throat, bronchitis,
consumption. and dies. Christian Advo-
cate,
